Help me
I need to get away from
Myself, please
Need to something to numb my braincells (yeah)
Oh, I'm a little edgy, can't you tell? (Yeah)
Can't you tell?

I'm so done with crying, no, you ain't worth my tears
I don't feel like hiding this crazy part of me

I'm gonna go out (yeah)
Stop thinking 'bout us (yeah)
Tonight, I'm gonna dance you off
I'll get out of bed (yeah)
Lift up in a dress (yeah)
Tonight, I'm gonna dance you off (tonight, I'm gonna dance you off)

It's you that I wanna
It's you that I wanna
It's you that I wanna forget
(It's you that I wanna forget)
It's you that I wanna
It's you that I wanna
It's you that I wanna forget

Help me
Give me some old vinyl from the shelve
I need a little less unpredictable
I'm a mess but you can clean it up yourself
All by yourself

I'm so done with crying, no, you ain't worth my tears

I'm gonna go out (yeah)
Stop thinking 'bout us (yeah)
Tonight, I'm gonna dance you off
I'll get out of bed (yeah)
Lift up in a dress (yeah)
Tonight, I'm gonna dance you off (tonight, I'm gonna)

It's you that I wanna
It's you that I wanna (oh yeah)
It's you that I wanna forget (it's you babe, it's you babe)
It's you that I wanna (baby)

I'm gonna go out (yeah)
I'm gonna go out (yeah)

I'm gonna go out
Stop thinking 'bout us
Tonight, I'm gonna dance you off (it's you babe, it's you)
I'll get out of bed
Lift up in a dress
Tonight, I'm gonna dance you off (it's you that I wanna forget)

I'm gonna go out (yeah)




I'm gonna go out (yeah)
I'm gonna go out
